Resetting sleep timing for ICU patients to support recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a “sleep chronobundle,” a set of sleep and light-timing steps, to improve daily sleep-wake timing in people in the ICU on breathing or blood-pressure support. It also checks whether the body’s sleep rhythms are more aligned during critical illness and over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 18 or older and admitted to the ICU (MICU).
- You need breathing support (mechanical ventilation, noninvasive ventilation, or high-flow nasal oxygen) or medicine to raise blood pressure (vasopressors).
- You’re expected to still be in the ICU at least 48 hours after the study randomization.
- You’re not in hospice and are not expected to die very soon.
- You should not have certain sleep-pattern disruptions before ICU (like recent shift work or known circadian disorder).
- Your ICU admission is not for diabetic ketoacidosis or a hyperosmolar diabetes emergency, and not from a suicide attempt, drug overdose, or alcohol withdrawal.

This study tests whether helping ICU patients sleep better and keeping their body clock on a normal day-night rhythm can improve recovery after surgery.
This study tests whether a team of ICU doctors and nurses can work together to improve sleep for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to help patients rest better during their hospital stay.
This study tests whether a special sleep-promoting program can help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery sleep better. If you or a loved one are recovering from surgery in the ICU, this program might improve sleep quality and recovery.
This study looks at how sleep and body rhythms are affected when a child is in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It may help doctors find ways to improve sleep for children who are in the hospital.
This study tests whether giving melatonin, a natural sleep aid, can improve sleep quality for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you are awake and can take medicine by mouth, this might help you rest better during your hospital stay.
This study tests different ways of organizing care and supporting patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) to see if they can improve recovery and well-being. It focuses on adults who need a breathing tube and are in the ICU for at least a day.
